Its kinda cool if you look at some of the renderings using the sets, especially the ones that zoom in and continue to zoom in forever and ever.
In essence, its like a quadratic equation that continues to occur (infinite) as values in increase.

They were discussing that on the Nova episode. I wasn't sure if that's his signature equation. I had never heard of him or of fractal geometry until I saw that episode. He's revolutionary.
